Hi,
I received my 2x Great Grandparents marriage cert a couple of weeks ago.
My 2x Gt Grandparents got married in 1917, in Nottingham.
Emma Stevens aged 28 married George Smith aged 45. George gives his occupation as coal miner and his father as John Smith, Deceased, General Labourer. At the time of marriage George was a widower and Emma a widow.
The two witnesses were Arthur Goulding and Florence Shaw.
If George gave his correct age he would have been born c1871. I have looked on the census records, but without knowing where George was born, I don't know how to narrow the results down.
I have managed to trace Emma back through the census and her parents. But with George Smith being such a common name it looks like it is going to be mission impossible.
I have tried to see if Florence was George's sister, by trying to find a census record with a George, Florence and John Smith but I can't seem to find anything.
Any advice and tips would be truly appreciated.
Kind regards
Kelly.
